Brookline Booksmith, located just outside of Boston in Coolidge Corner, originally opened in 1961 as Paperback Booksmith with the slogan “Dedicated to the fine art of browsing.” The store was one of the first bookstores on the East Coast to recognize that “serious” paperback books—a publishing phenomenon of the late 1950s—opened up the world of great literature to a mass audience. Prior to that, paperbacks mostly featured westerns and nurse stories and “serious” literature was only available in hardcover. Paperback Booksmith sold a diverse range of books—from great literature to naughty books, from books by and about the radical left to books by and about the radical right. The Booksmith was one of the first stores to display the books by category, rather than by publisher, and to organize its books alphabetically by author, encouraging customers to enjoy browsing on their own and at their leisure. Since its beginnings as Paperback Booksmith, Brookline Booksmith has continued to evolve, serving the people of Brookline and Boston.

On "R" Street in Little Rock's historic Heights neighborhood is a shop that conjures the service-oriented retail experience of years gone by.

By Invitation Only offers an amazing selection of bridal invitations and all the extras, including wedding albums to bridesmaid gifts. Brides can also peruse more than 50 stationery lines.

What's more, the staff has worked hard to develop relationships with both national companies and local artists, so customization is always an option. Many styles are in stock, making turnaround time as short as three to five days.

Constellation & Co. is a letterpress stationery company owned by me, Sara McNally. Every one of our cards is printed, packaged, and sent on it’s way from our beautiful storefront studio in the historic Seattle Fishermen’s Terminal. I love the wall of windows in our space, inviting people and sunlight in. I love smelling fresh ocean air. But what I love most are the possibilities that this place holds. This is where I do what I love—and every day here is a blessing.
